Title: Heating arrangement for ice skate blades
Inventor: FURZER JEREMY
IPC: A63C1/32
Filed: 2004-06-07
Abstract: An ice skate comprising a boot arranged to receive a person's foot, a skate blade assembly (1) and a blade heating arrangement (8) mounted within a blade mounting arrangement. The blade heating arrangement is arranged to use a field-effect transistor (12) controlled by an electronic controller (10) to operate in the non-linear range to heat skate blades from a power source (14). The blade (2) is formed as a two part structure with a central core plate within the steel blade part of a higher thermal conductivity material such as copper.  The circuit (9) controlling the heating includes a charging component which uses as a contact for the charging current the blade itself. The blade (2, 32) is mounted on the mounting arrangement by a manually releasable mechanical coupling for readily removing the blade and the heating element from its mounting with the manually releasable coupling includes at least one inclined wedge member (34) for cooperating with a corresponding shaped receptacle (35) on the mounting arrangement and a cam lock (39) for pulling the blade along the mounting member longitudinally of the blade and to draw the inclined wedge member into its receptacle.
